русский => английский Искусство/Литература Общеразговорные темы / Переписка / Поздравления
Please nobody tell me emotionally concentrated :-)

The author is describing a priest she knew in 1940 Bessarabia who had been imprisoned at Solovki when the sentences were 2-3 years long (I think they later became much longer). After he fled Bessarabia she wondered what ever happened to him.

Лишь вспоминая его рассказы о Соловках (которые тогда, когда он их нам рассказывал, казались мне, что греха таить, несколько преувеличенными и эмоционально сгущенными), я думала «Уж не постигла ли его беда. Его и матушку?»

with blackened picture

Сначала стала смотреть в Мультитране термин "сгущать краски" (ссылка ниже), т.к. это наиболее похожее по смыслу выражение, при переводе которого можно найти идиому. Получила "to blacken the picture".
